Show Cue System

We just installed a Delta 1010lt card in our system (running Windows XP SP2 and the latest version of SCS) and are having a problem. We don't get any output until we have run enough cues so that all outputs get addressed.

For example: Cue 1 has 1/2 output assigned, Cue 2 has 3/4, Cue 3 has 5/6, and Cue 4 has 7/8 assigned. When we play Cue 1 - no output, cue 2 - no output, cue 3 - no output but when we play cue 4 we get proper output. After that all cues play as they should. But when we close SCS and restart we have to play all 4 cues again to be able to get output on all outs.

Am I missing something in the set up of SCS, the sound card, or Windows?

The work around seems to work but I would prefer not to have to run 4 cues everytime before things start to work properly.

Other than this we have been very happy with SCS.

Thanks.

If you open the M-Audio Delta Control Panel and click on the Hardware Settings tab you will see a section titled "MultiTrack Driver Devices". You probably have this set to "Single and in Sync". Change this to "Independent".

The "Single and in Sync" means that the Delta will wait for output to all opened channels before playing, and will then play them all in sync. "Independent" means the Delta will play an output as soon as it is received.

I have developed an internal work-around which will be in later SCS releases.
